I have experience working with clients around issues such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, safety, grief, self-esteem, and self-image. My approach is collaborative.

I have alway been interested in what makes people tick. Why are we so different and yet so much the same? I love my work because people and their issues are always unique no matter what age or gender. My name is Joanne Scarrone and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Pennsylvania. I earned my Bachelors of Arts Degree from Seton Hill University and my Masters Degree from Duquesne University. After graduation, I trained/worked with a psychologist for 11 years. This opportunity deepened my understanding of how our minds and bodies are interconnected by teaching me the physiology of the brain and body. My practice includes modalities that treat depression, anxiety, self-esteem, grief and loss, stress, isolation, abandonment. I believe that people are always doing the best that they can given their current resources. When I am not counseling, I love to garden and paint. My favorite artistic endeavor is portraiture because I strive not just for a likeness but for a person's essence.

I believe that if every human being had someone to provide them with unconditional positive regard, especially during the formative years of childhood, our world would be a safer place. Unfortunately, many of us don’t even make it through childhood without wound from emotionally painful experiences. Sometimes the consequences from these experiences are long-lasting, and can impact our well-being, relationships, and work. Fortunately, therapy can help. I have worked in community and university settings for the past 7 years, and I have experience treating a variety of mental health struggles such anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, trauma, marriage/family issues, and communication challenges. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in the state of Pennsylvania. I draw from process-experiential models to help you explore your inner world in order to access your authentic self. To accomplish this, I create a non-judgmental space for you to be able to process your emotions and experiences honestly. I also integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Family Systems Theories to provide you with coping tools and a deeper understanding of your situation.
